In my post from August 13, 2025, I shared a little culinary confession: my husband and I often prefer snacking on “heavy apps” instead of our usual meat-and-potatoes dinner. Sometimes, making a full meal just feels like too much, too much food and too much effort. So, I whip up what I affectionately call a do dad dinner, using leftovers from the fridge or I prepare a heavy app. Technically, I’m still cooking, but somehow it feels lighter, easier, and far more fun.
This style of meal prep has seemingly become very popular. When hosting a mahjong group or a wine gathering, heavy apps are always the main event. Even beach days and girls’ weekends in the mountains follow suit—heavy apps reign supreme. I’m lucky to be surrounded by friends who are such inventive cooks. These get-togethers often blossom into full-blown gastronomic feasts.
While surfing the web (as one does), I stumbled across a post from Stacker titled “50 Snack Recipes So Tasty They Might Replace Dinner.” I loved so many of the recipes, I thought I would share them with you. Here is the link Stackers 50 snack recipes.
I would love to know if you share my love for preparing heavy apps. If you do, please share some of your favorites
